Someone is "Soooo Big"!

How can two months go by so fast? Nemo had his 2 month check up and weighed in at 12.9 lbs and 24 inches long. He is healthy and happy. Well, maybe not so happy after his shots.

He is doing great. He smiles, is attentive to sound and color, "talks", and has some stubbornness to him. No ideal who that came from, ahem, Chief. He can hold his head up and is a "tummy time" rock star. He loves polka-dots. He is still not sure of his fuzzy brothers. They tend to make him furrow his brow.

He is not digging his crib these days. Probably due to the fact that he has a cold and when he is really stuffy I hold him in the rocker. He now prefers my "pillows" over his crib mattress. I bought a Baby Einstein Crib Aquarium over the weekend. I thought it would give him something to look at and drift off to sleep. This didn't work for us. Nemo didn't even look at it but did finally take interest in his mobile.

I am packing up his 3 month sized outfits. Wow, these look so small compared to his new 6 month old clothes. We are so fortunate that we received great gifts, especially all of these clothes. He will be looking good when he goes to daycare.

Speaking of daycare, I am having a hard time dealing with letting him go. Maybe it is selfish of me but I want to be the one taking care of him. He's my little buddy and has so many ways of telling me what he wants. It took me a while to figure this out and now he will have to go through this with someone new. I have thought that perhaps I have made a bad choice by going back to work full time. Perhaps I should have considered part time work instead. Maybe I should have had a nanny come into the house. There seems to be a lot of "what ifs" right now. Friends have told me this is normal but it is killing me.

I am going to miss him so much when I go back to work. I can tell that I will be crying my eyes out when I drop him off. I am sure this will be a hundred times worse for me than for Nemo. He is a pretty easy going fellow and I am sure as long as he is fed he will be happy.
